So, most lineages back in the day don’t mention daughters when detailing them.
However, the Bible actually says, “After the birth of Seth, Adam lived another 800 years and he had other sons and daughters.” So it does document other children. Research just for a second before posting a meme, even if it is against the great sky fairy. Most things in that book do add up somehow.
So, if everyone died, except for one man and one woman, should their children not procreate? Inbreeding is bad and gross, but when it’s literally the only option…
What’s misunderstood about that study is that the women were separated by hundreds of years, they’ve just had the longest continuous chain of ancestors without their branch terminating. It wasn’t 7 pregnant women at the same time.
But these two were made by God, you’d think their genetics would be perfect. It would take quite some generations for genetic mutation to be significant

I’mma stop you right there.
Humans lived extreamly long lives before the supposed flood.
Did they though?
I should have specified “in the Bible”
Okay, but that still isn’t okay. The siblings fucked each other or their parents.

If you don’t have enough genetically distant members of a species, it’s almost impossible to repopulate that species.
Estimates range between 98 people and 14,000 people as the minimum number
i’ve read that humanity was once dwindled down to just 7 females in a genetic bottleneck study.

interesting info! do you have a good link for casually reading about it?
This is a good start! In fact, we all share one common mitochondrial Eve.

But others branched out after her, again separated by thousands of years.

“Mutation” refers to passing down a gene you don’t have. A copying error, basically.
One would hope Adam and Eve were passing down nothing but mutated genes.
That’s my point, there’s no bad genes, and minor mutations over one generation generally don’t make a big difference.
That is NOT how genetics work, Jesus Christ, you’re talking about “genetic purity,” not a good look.
we’re talking about god, adam and eve, it’s all fantasy
I mean, when your population starts at just a pair, it’s gotta increase from there
“It’s totally okay, because god said to.”- Alabama, probably
“I’m just practicin wat I preach”
“Me too!”- Kentucky, maybe
Literally the central tenet of Christianity
The basis of the rejection of Judaism/the Old Testament is just “this stuff is stupid, God says to stop doing it”
